About
Our Hospital

For over 120 years, our hospital has played a vital role in the health of the people in Chippewa County and surrounding area. Inspired by the Franciscan tradition of our founders, the services we offer are dictated not by the prospect of financial gain, but instead the opportunity to care, help and heal. In that spirit, we offer leading edge medical services. And something extra— the benefit of sincere caring.

St. Joseph's Hospital is a licensed 150-bed hospital located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The facilities, technology, and staff support a broad range of medical specialties. The hospital's ongoing capital improvement program assures that our facilities are modern, appealing, and designed to support the best practices available for patient care.

The Mission of St. Joseph's Hospital is to deliver compassionate health care services to people in need.

Reflecting our high regard for one another as inspired by our Franciscan tradition, the Vision of St. Joseph's Hospital is to be the preferred choice of health care and hospital services in Chippewa County and the surrounding area.

The primary mission of the Hospital Sisters Health System is to provide a structure and the means whereby the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis continue their healing mission in the Roman Catholic Church. Hospitals and other institutionally-based programs are the primary means of responding to those in need. Service is regarded as a ministry of healing which exemplifies the Gospel values of compassion, justice, and reverence for life throughout its continuum.

St. Joseph's Hospital has four key values that guide all that we do:

Care— This embodies the concern, compassion, and sensitivity with which we care for patients as individuals and on a one-to-one relationship. St. Joseph's Hospital's concern for human welfare underlies our preferential option for the poor and the helpless.

Joy— Our colleagues, and all who join us in our ministry, will perform their service with happiness and enthusiasm. Joy is an essential ingredient in bringing a sense of hope to those suffering.

Respect— Respect for life and the dignity of each individual person is the hallmark of our hospital. We are committed to encouraging and empowering each colleague to grow and develop to their full potential.

Competence— The service we perform is managed at the highest possible level of skill and ability. We are committed to recruiting and developing competent colleagues whose personal values are aligned with the values of our hospital.
